Cutest news story EVAR!
Aug. 22nd, 2009 03:56 pmSix year old boy named "Director of Fun" for the National Railway Museum in York
"In his application Sam wrote: 'I have an electric train track. I am good on my train track. I can control two trains at once.'
Bosses were so taken with his enthusiasm they offered him a role as director of fun. "

kalmn, in her post about the ELCA's recent decision to allow (non-celibate, AKA partnered) LGB (T isn't even in the discussion lexicon yet) ordination, she describes the three main branches of the Lutheran church as such:"for those of you not familiar with the lutheran church in its many weirdo varieties, the elca is the "mainstream" lutheran church. (there are also the missouri synod and the wisconsin synod, aka six miles to right of attila the hun and six miles farther right than that. as well as many smaller sects.)"
which amuses me to great ends.

Aug. 19th, 2009 09:38 pmI try to know the folks I follow here on LJ by their first names, but sometimes that doesn't happen.
We got a donation check at the community from someone in Hyattsville, MD, who said they read about it on violachic's blog, but I didn't recognize the name at all.
I'm curious if it is someone who reads this LJ regularly, and I'd love it if you'd let me know who you are. Comments are screened, so the whole world doesn't have to know.
Thank you!

Aug. 6th, 2009 02:03 pmSo I guess these days I'm doing my talking pretty much on Facebook.
So if you want to know what I'm saying, you should probably find me there.
You can search either for my full name, or if you don't know that, you can search for the email I have listed on my profile page. You need to have me list you on my friends list to see that, so if you don't see it, I haven't friended you, and that means I don't know you, and you probably don't need to be able to find me on Facebook.
If you can't find me on FB and think you should be able to, let me know.

I really, really wish I had a good camera.
